Governor Discusses Highway 27 Project
Development of rural areas was the focus
of the recent Georgia Municipal Associa

Phil Cavin following his speech at the con

students nationally who scored
lower than the average student
in that system.
Following is a graph of
scores achieved locally by
Trion and Chattooga County
students. The scores are inter
preted by the state in com
parison with the average scores
of school systems similar in
terms of size and economic con
ditions. One major criterion us
ed by the state in grouping like

figure he said was too great.
Home’s A Cage
For ‘Bigmouth’
from second front
Jimmy Duff loaned me a bird
cage to l.'{eei’)l him in."”
After the homecoming,
Mrs. Ford wasn't sure how to
care for the featherless bird.
“I fed him sweet milk and
cream of wheat with a medicine
dropper,”’ she said. *‘Each day,
when I'd come into work, the
would ask me if he was stifi
alive. No one believed a baby
bird could live long away from
its mother. In a few days, he
began to iet pinfeathers
around his throat.”
* * *
IT DIDN'T take long for
the bird to acquire the name,
“Bigmouth.”
““He really has a big mouth
for such a small bird, and he is
never quiet during the
daytime,” Mrs. Ford said. ‘‘He
chatters all day long, but at
night, he folds {is head under
his wing and never makes a
sound.”
Mrs. Ford is known for her
affinity with animals. Friends
often bring hurt or lost animals
for her to care for. She keeps a
menagerie of several Persian
cats and four dogs, in addition
to Bigmouth.
In the winter, she expands
her circle to include the wild
birds of the area, which she en
joys feeding.
“One day I was in the
firocery store, and a woman I
now came up beside me and
asked what I was going to have
for dinner,” Mrs. Ford said,
smiling. “Well, I had several
things at home to fix, and I
didn’t really know what she
meant. I said, ‘I don’'t know,
why?’' She said, ‘lt looks like
you're not foing to have
anything or yourself;
everything you've bought is for
the animals.’
uggy an ad picked up
was cat food, dog foog and bird
seed.”
Although he prefers his
cage to the ireat outdoors,
Bigmouth is a keen observer of
his wild contemporaries.
* * *
“HE WATCHES THE
other birds and he will turn his
head to listen to their calls,”
Mrs. Ford said. ““The first time
I let him loose, I saw him fly to
the top of the house alongside
another bird. I thought he was
gone for good, so I started to
put his cage away. He flew
right back into the cage.”
On another of his flights,
the bird took his first dip in the
vention June 24. During the conversation,
officials discussed the importance of
widening U. S. Highway 27 and the im
%act it could have on Chattooga County.
hey also talked about the need for a con
nector to I-75.
in the free lunch program at
each school.
Trion schools are in the
lowest percentile of students
receiving free or reduced-price
lunches. The Trion schools are
%roufled with systems such as
hickamauga City, Cobb,
Dalton City, DeKaf,b, Floyd,
Gwinnett and others in which
22 Jnercent or less of the
students receive free or
reduced-price lunches.
Chattooga County Schools
are in a slightly higher bracket,
according to the system. The
The QBE program also cut
out counselors for middle
schools. “I feel at this age of
outdoor bird bath. Once again,
Bigmouth found himself in a
predicament. Once more, Mrs.
Ford had to be quick on her
toes to save him.
‘‘He was having a good
time splashing around in the
bird bath,”” Mrs. Ford recalls.
““He found it by himself, I
didn't show it to him."”
The little bird was so rowdy
that he attracted the attention
of a large Persian cat, which
was also enjoying the backyard
sunshine.
“‘After the bath, he flew
down on the grass to dry off,”
she said. ““The cat got after him
and I got after the cat.”
The cat managed to grab
Bigmouth, but a second later,
Mrs. Ford had the little bird
safely in hand.
* * *
“THE CAT DIDN'T have
time to hurt him, but ever since
that happened, he has refused
to leave fiis cage,”’ she said.
Since the incident with the
cat, the little bird has confined
his bathing to a dish of water
safely behind bars.
Mrs. Ford has given
Bigmouth every opportunity
to return to the wild, but he
doesn't want to leave. The
closest he has come to living on
his own was the night he spent
away from home.
‘*He was gone all night and
I thought surely he was sone
for iood," Mrs. Ford said. זי
washed out his cage and I got
it ready to take back to Jimmy
(Duff) the next day. That mor
ning I was out sweeping the
porch when Bigmouth came
and landed on my shoulder.
Back in the cage he went!”
Mrs. Ford is careful not to
let herself get too possessive of
the little bird, because she feels
that one day it will return to its
natural habitat. Her next goal
is to find a larger cage for her
rapidly growing fledgling.
After so many near
disasters, Mrs. Forcf, worries
about all the things that could
happen to the little bird.
However, she is determined
not to let worry spoil her fun
with Bigmouth, or take away
his freegom.
* * *
“I'M AFRAID THAT he'll
fly away one day and never
come back, or that a cat will
get him,” she said. *‘l know I
would cry, but I would go on
somehow. He is a lot of com
pany, and I really enjoy him. I

ne
Deaton also called for pro
viding vocational educational
programs that better matches
the needs of students in
various areas of the state.
ELECT BOARD
And he said he supports the
idea of electing the State Board
of Education Ey Congressional
District. His survey indicated
that 83 percent of those
responding favor an elected
state school board, Deaton
said.
If elected, he would pro
mote an ‘‘adopt-a-school’’ pro
gram, he continued, saying
that only 28 percent of the
state's pogulation has students
in the public schools.
Deaton urged openness in
the making of school decisions
and said ‘‘Bigness is not
necessarily goodness and
smallness is not necessarily
badness.” Consolidation and
merger are issues to be decid
ed at the ballot box and not by
officials in Atlanta, he
indicated.
Deaton said he is concern
ed about a lack of concern
about rural school systems.
“The rural setting in this state
is its backbone . .. " he said.
Deaton told the Rotarians
he is concerned about the state
ending funding for driver
education programs, saying
people of tEe state want the
program and that it helps
reduce accidents caused gy
youn?sters.
After the meeting, he said
he felt a program should be in
itiated to use the expertise of
teachers in the classroom in
solving overall educational pro
blems. Deaton said industry
uses suggestions and ideas
from its employees but the
state’s educational system has
no progam for utif]izing the
ideas of its teachers.
SCREEN BOOKS
Asked about birth control
education in the public schools
and about the possibility that
some books promote pro
miscuity, Deaton said, “We
need to screen books, we need
to screen them and make sure
they don’t promote but that
they educate and provide infor
mation. I think there's a dif
ference in promoting
something rather than pro
viding egucational informa
tion.”
Deaton also came out
strongly in favor of the סת''
pass, no play” policy, saying
“the number one priority of
schools is education; secondary
is extra-curricular activities.”
Deaton also said he felt the
State Department of Educa
tion should be more involved in
providing assistance to local
systems.
